I Dreamed it Was December

This Spelling worksheet features a wistful poem titled “I Dreamed it Was December” from the book The Elephant Repairman, which describes a child’s dream of winter and holiday festivities. Students are tasked with selecting the correct spelling of words from multiple options provided in parentheses throughout the poem. This activity enhances spelling skills, reinforces vocabulary, and promotes careful reading. The relatable theme of anticipating holidays and the contrast between dream and reality make it particularly engaging for grades 3-5, while also encouraging critical thinking about word usage and spelling conventions in a seasonal, dream-like context.
